(NAPSI)-Keeping your home warm in the winter has never been easier-or more environmentally friendly.

Geothermal heating and cooling systems offer the finest in home-comfort conditioning. By utilizing the free, renewable solar energy stored in the ground, geothermal systems are a clean and environmentally friendly source of energy.

So if it is decreased energy costs, enhanced comfort, safety and reliability that you want out of your heating system, a geothermal unit could be the right fit for you.

The experts at WaterFurnace recommend geothermal systems, such as the Envision series from WaterFurnace, which can be easily installed in a wide variety of installations-new or old homes, large or small. Although most systems are simply single units in a forced-air application, they can also be used for other types of installations.

• Geothermal units can provide hot water for radiant floor applications by circulating warm water through the tubing encased in the floor. Floors covered in tile, wood, linoleum or stone are kept toasty warm, even on the coldest days. Since the entire floor acts as a giant radiator, you'll experience a comfortably conditioned room with head-to-toe consistent comfort.

• Homes with large demands for domestic or potable water heating will benefit from the exceptional efficiency of a Water-Furnace Synergy geothermal system. This unit provides dedicated hot water for heating and domestic use and both heating and cooling furnished through a conventional duct system to condition the air inside the home. The complete system provides the ultimate in savings and comfort with safe, reliable, quiet performance.

• Units can also be utilized to heat water for pools and spas. You'll find that a geothermal unit will heat your pool or spa for much less than an ordinary pool heater. And compared to fossil fuel-burning heaters, it's much safer, too, without concerns associated with carbon monoxide poisoning.

• A geothermal unit can keep your sidewalks or driveway free of ice and snow during the cold winter months. It eliminates the hazards of walking on ice-covered sidewalks, and helps you forget the backbreaking effort of shoveling snow.

Geothermal systems operate more efficiently than ordinary heating and air-conditioning systems because they deliver four units of energy for every one unit of electrical energy used. By combining stored Earth energy with safe electric power, homeowners may realize savings of up to 70 percent on heating, cooling and hot water costs when they install a geothermal unit.

For more information on installing an energy-efficient heating and cooling system, like the Envision series by WaterFurnace, visit www.waterfurnace.com or call 1-800-GEO-SAVE.
